Welcome
to the section of the Hula Kahiko Research Library PROTOTYPE on Ancient
Implements and Instruments.
These items were an integral part of hula for the ancestors, assisting
them in telling their stories in unique and interesting ways. These
objects often recreated sounds from nature, reflecting the deep

instruments they have used in hula. Those listed below are only a small
number which tie to the chosen Ancient Hula Types in this online PROTOTYPE.”
